Daily Notes- September 28

A Lovely Bowl Of Soup.

Warmer today- not a corduroy pants day.  Two loads of laundry.  No rash.  No great emotional turmoil via the television interviews.  Several plants re-potted.  Pots washed and saucers scrubbed.
A good day out of the Senate--surprisingly.

My eco dye works was SPECTACULARLY successful.  A good soak in a stronger alum solution and the addition of "iron" or "rust" water to the wrapped packages of cloth and plant material.  Then a 45 minute steam in foil packages.  Left to cool completely.  Then opened and left to dry without rinsing overnight.

The depth of color transfer was impressive.  And it didn't wash out as it has done in previous tries. But I do like those paler versions--they play well with the darker versions.  One or two cloths is very dark but I can still see the leaves and the veins.

Well, the FBI is going back in--in a limited scope (deal with issues in the scope of the hearings) for one week.  Via Trump.  At 4pm Maine Time.  Breaking News as they say.  A rare reversal.  Perhaps this will cause the Judge to back out.
